Why a Low-Fat Diet Only Raises the Risk of Heart Disease

If meat, saturated fats, and cholesterol are really the main causes of obesity and heart problems around the world, then how come more and more of us are getting fat and dying of heart attacks the more we adopt low-fat diets? Don't be a victim of the greatest cover-up in medical history!

If you want to know how the "animal fat causes heart disease" scam started, we'll have to go back to the 1950's. Ancel Keys, Ph.D., a physiologist, executed a study on heart disease on several different countries. He later published his findings in the "Seven Countries Study."

The Seven Countries Study showed that Keys found a "remarkable relationship" between heart disease prevalence and fat intake in seven different countries. In the said countries, people who ate more fat had higher levels of cardiovascular disease, and those who ate little fat had low levels of it.

But a Ph.D. statistician at the University of California at Berkeley named Jacob Yerushalmy pointed out a major flaw -- they actually had data on the fat intake and heart disease rates of 22 countries -- 15 more than published in the study. Why were the 15 other countries excluded?

Simple -- Keys started with the conclusion he wanted. He only picked the 7 countries that supported his theory and disregarded the rest. The fact remains that if you consider the other 15 countries, his "remarkable relationship" about heart disease and fat intake disappear remarkably!

Here's another fact -- 60 years after the Seven Countries Study was published, no other study has proven any link between animal fat and heart problems. In fact, most studies (at least those that the government and Big Pharma haven't covered up yet) prove the exact opposite!

So instead of going low-fat, go low-carb. It's a fact that carbohydrates, which are actually poisonous in their raw state, are the main causes of heart disease and obesity. Want proof? See how heart disease rates skyrocketed after the Food Guide Pyramid advocated 6-11 daily servings of carbs.
